$4.08 for an 11 oz box of 'Nilla Wafers at the store today. What? Really? How?
I am having some major sticker shock today. Mind you I go to the CHEAPEST grocery store in town. No fancy nothing. This place is cement, metal racks and you bag your own everything.
Dog food was up a buck, bread prices went up and I don't think I've ever seen summer fruit so expensive in my entire life.
But the kicker was the 'Nilla Wafers by Nabisco. The box is different than I am used to so I double checked it. 11 oz... $4.08. Sigh...another old favorite that are not within my budget.
How long are prices going to go up? I'm a repetative shopper--I kinda get the same things over and over--and for years I'd spend right around $100. Today's shopping was $147--of which only $7 was meat.
Why are the food corporations pushing the American public so hard? How long until people start to protest because they are hungry? Why are they choosing to make so much unrest? It can't all be greed can it?
They just don't get it. Can you say inflation DUmmie?

Prices have always went up, their just using trampolines to raise them during the Obamaconomy.

Snout--er, snort. This, from a teacher.
Why are they choosing to make so much unrest? It can't all be greed can it?
The greed of the Dems, liberals, and primitives; their avaricious obsession with controlling things via regulation and taxation.
-
Nilla Wafers? Make your own. Or buy the store-brand box for two dollars less.

Buy store brands, that's what we do on high priced items.

Democrat math again....they tax the rich corporations to give to the poor.... the rich corporation has to go up on the price.... the poor buys the product the rich corpration makes ....but because of the rise in prices the poor have less money left to buy dope..... so the democrats have to raise taxes on the rich so they can give it to the poor.....the rich corporation has to go up on the price...

This is what happens when fuel and taxes go through the roof, DUmmies.
How do you think those items get to market? Unicorn farts?

Basically, that's it, sir, but the primitives don't get it.
Corporations don't pay taxes, which makes corporate taxes a silly idea to begin with.
Customers of corporations pay those corporate taxes, in the form of higher prices.
The primitives can't seem to understand this, though.

Newbie here, but long time head shaker of over there. I originally started reading their site a few years back thinking I would see some type of sanity to explain why they think the way they do. It left me going wtf even more. I can read 1 million and 1 liberal points of view and can never figure them out.
Anyhow, this Snoutput is particularly whacked, with long, pointlessly detailed and obviously fabricated tales of stupidity. I am sure y'all know that.
He is supposedly a gay guy living with another gay guy? Is $147 his weekly shopping budget? That is a lot of food for 2 people. I spend less than that to feed 6 people.

30. That's what they want you to think. Why doesn't it require more gas to get all the groceries home
then?
It may take the same amount of gas, but the cost of that gas goes up DUmmie. God they're idiots.

When your communist democrat leaders spend so much that for each dollar spent there is 42 cents borrowed or printed this is the inevitable result.
It's not that prices are rising but that your dollar is worth so much less since the donks took over congress and the presidency.

If you can read their posts about food without your head exploding from the pretension and cutesie word-like letter assemblages, it's not too hard to see how they burn through twice what a normal household would spend.

32. veggie burgers up to $7.00/box from $5.17 in ONE week...
...that was my latest sticker shock. That's for FOUR damn soy burgers. SOY! :wtf:
That price increase is because the manufacturer knows that if you're stupid enough to be eating veggie burgers, you'll be stupid enough to pay $7 for 4 of them. :tongue:

LOL! I was reading an article a few weeks back about the plight of mothers on food-stamps having to wait until midnight to shop when their EBT cards were reloaded. Sad tale of running out of food-stamps a week before the first of the month and dragging 4 hungry kids to the store in the middle of the night. Then I saw where they were getting over $600 a month in food-stamps, to feed 1 woman and 4 kids. I spend less than that a month and have to feed a man too. I aim for $125 a week and try hard to stay under that. It can be done, but not if you are throwing prepackaged junk like vanilla wafers into the cart. And I really don't feel like we are deprived at all. If you get $600 a month in food-stamps to feed 5 people, no way should you be running out a week ahead of time. Geez, plan better!

'Nilla Wafers are not a necessity. I think you can do without.

It's because all the hippies want us to put soy in our gas tanks.

Beat me to it.....if the prices of corn and soybeans get much higher, the farmers around here may go back to plowing and planting again.

They're already doing that here.
A biodiesel factory in the area caught on fire over the weekend. It was a mess.

I wonder if he thinks that the ingredients to make the nilla wafers cost a dollar and that Nabisco is making a $3.08 profit, like that genius who thinks that there is a dollar of potatoes in one bag of potato chips and frito lay makes a 3 dollar profit when one bag costs $4.00. :-)

Impossible. The store brand Nilla Wafers are not all-organic free-range grass-fed variety.

41. Western Family Brand Vanilla Wafers were almost half the price and1 oz bigger box
I guess it just costs Nabisco twice as much to make a very cheap cookie.
I'd say the biggest reason in the rising cost is these guys who represent Nabisco workers nationwide.

Another thing the primitives don't seem to understand is that if something is priced too high, the public won't buy it.
The public will either go without, or purchase a cheaper alternative.
And as companies exist to make a profit, if nobody buys their products, they don't make a profit.....and the companies go out of existence, bankrupt.
The price of $4.08 is probably fine-tuned to that sensitivity; the difference between discouraging and encouraging the public to buy it.
Primitives however have no idea how economics works--either in this society, or in any other sort of society.
And they think they're smart enough to vote.....

actually the price is up that much because the price of soybeans is way up. Ethanol subsidies has made farmers plant more corn than usual taking up field acreage that should be soybeans. I work at a soybean processing plant and have been keeping my eye on the habits of grain producers.
and you should check the ingredients of what you eat. a majority of it has something derived form soybeans. second to only high fructose corn syrup which also has to compete with ethanol. basically everything we eat has to compete with ethanol.

They never, ever mention this. I guess they enjoy assuring that some people are more equal than others when it comes to unions. Snout shouldn't be complaining about paying for his union buds selfish demands. In fact, he should be happy and willing to pay for Nilla's since it keeps union folks employed. What a heartless bastard.

That's what its afraid of. During one teacher conference, they read aloud some comments posted by some queer teacher and he knew they were going to link the comments to him.

To dovetail with another thread, I wonder what the DUmmies would think about grocery prices if President 0bama just printed more money (ala DUmmy Manny Goldstein)? Those Nilla Wafers would be about $10 a box.

Uh, more than ten bucks, sir, if the Big Zero did that, just printed more money.
I speak from experience here, from those years wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers peasants, and I saw this first-hand, fiat money.
The month I got there, the Ukrainian karbovanets, which had originally been issued at 2 for 1 American dollar, were selling 47 for 1 American dollar.
And then it went downhill after that.
After I'd been there about three months, it was up to 48,000 for 1 American dollar.
After I'd been there about six months, it was up to 275,000 for 1 American dollar.
I no longer remember what it was a year later, but I learned "a trillion" before the Big Zero acquainted us with that particular number.
In the meantime, wages didn't go up too; they stayed what they had been since August 1991.
If my good friend and pal Manny had his way, and the Big Zero just printed more money, pretty soon the well-paid snout primitive couldn't even buy a pair of shoelaces with his enormous teacher's salary.

Not all at one time, dear lady. He has painted this picture brushstroke by brushstroke over some time, mainly within the past year. I'm sure he has overshared a lot more than that, as what I posted is just what I've gleaned from excerpts reposted here; his original material is no doubt far richer in the sort of details that most people would have more sense than to put on a public website.

There are not two 'Husbands' in these deals, but a pretense of 'Husband' and 'Wife.' I have met some of the type who maintain that 'Husband-wife' pretense; the 'Wife' is invariably the more effeminate of the two, which tells you all you need to know to figure out who is playing what position on the team, without the necessity of buying a program.

As some here know my husband worked for a toy company. Their profit margin was so slim that a small bump in packaging prices, over head, computer chip prices etc could cause them to decide it wasn't worth the effort to produce the item any longer.
This is what is going to happen more and more except for the company deciding it isn't worth making a certain toy, they are going to decide it isn't worth doing business at all.

For example, one might see a "40 cents off" coupon for a Kraft product.
Okay, forty cents isn't chicken feed, and so one checks it out.
Well, the Kraft product is $1.79, while the store brand is $1.29.....and the coupon doesn't cover that difference.

I'm a couponer, but with prices as high as they are I started doing most of my shopping at Aldi's, and since my Husband is a snacker I stock up on Aldi's brand cookies, potato chips etc. and we find they taste just as good as the brand names, and since they're so inexpensive you don't need the coupons.

I do save some coupons for the grocery store because my store doubles up to .99. I try to eat healthier snacks and Snackwell's came out with a new healthy bar that looks like a granola bar, the grocery store had it on sale 2/$5, I had 4 .75 coupons that said Do Not Double, I bought 2 boxes and the coupons for some weird reason doubled, so I got the snack bars for $1 each. Also found out Aldi's has healthy 100 calorie snacks so I loaded up on those for me.

No need to explain your couponing, madam. If it works for you, great, keep it up.
But I'm talking from the perspective of (a) a person who lives in an area where "doubling coupons" is unheard of, not done, and (b) a single male with no spouse or dependents who doesn't have to care so much about prices.
If it works for you--which it obviously does--I wouldn't change a thing.

I was shocked to find out that doubling doesn't go on everywhere, it seems most places don't double. In reference to the OP though, people need to make choices when times are tough, if the Nilla Wafers are too much then you switch to another brand that's cheaper, if you want to cut more corners then you start couponing, couponing can be fun but sometimes I get callouses from cutting them out but you do what you have to do to save a $ here and there.

74. 2 boxes of Triscuit wheat crackers and a jar of Cheese Whiz - $15
Each one is $5 a piece...but there's no inflation....LIARS.

Yup, "Wheat Weaves" or whatever the local generic cracker is would be just as good. The last time I ate Cheez Wiz I was about 14 and on a camping trip with friends, but I'm sure the generic tastes just about the same.

Really? Grow the hell up and quit buying Nilla Wafers if you can't afford them. Make do with an alternative. Or just stop eating them altogether.

Some things are identical in the store brand vs. the name brand, some are not; to the extent there is a difference, the cheaper generics seem to use lower-quality shortening and sweetening which degrades the flavor from a bit to pretty significantly. The better half went through a major couponing phase years ago, it's just not worth the time and effort anymore with fewer mouths to feed and less highly-processed food on the shopping list.

Publix sends a $5 coupon in the mail every week, and that's the only one I ever use.
To me, that's extreme couponing.
We used to have a neighbor who had whole room in her basement taken up with coupon files and planning.
Thank you for shopping Publix... I enjoy cashing my dividend checks every quarter.

You're welcome. Once a month, I go to Harris Teeter, because choices at Publix are pretty limited by comparison.

Nope - a stroke. :thatsright:

If you get $600 a month in food-stamps to feed 5 people, no way should you be running out a week ahead of time. Geez, plan better!

Tucker got a shoutout from DUFU:
BTW, Tucker at Conservative Cave correctly pointed out Unions and the high cost of foods. Don’t complain if you support Unions, just pay up and shut up!
No kidding. Somebody's got to pay for $20/hour + sweeeeet benefits!
